Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract Intercropping cereals with non‐food intercrops (NFICs) provides a means to enhance cereal productivity while providing additional benefits such as improved soil health or forage production. We conducted a meta‐analysis to investigate the effect of NFICs on cereal yields, cereal nitrogen uptake, and striga (Striga spp.) infestation, using 874 ...

Dry Bean Cocoa Production in Papua New Guinea: Do IPDM Inputs Pay Off?
Asia &the Pacific Policy Studies, Volume 13, Issue 2, May 2026.ABSTRACT Cocoa is Papua New Guineaʼs (PNG) third‐largest agricultural export, supporting about two million smallholder farmers. Despite integrated pest and disease management (IPDM) systems to improve yields, adoption remains low. We surveyed two cocoa‐growing households—one near Balima (Madang Province) and the other near Manetai (Bougainville)—and ...

Quality of Forage Cactus Silage with the Addition of Hay from Forages Adapted to the Semiarid Region
New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.This study investigated the effects of including hays from different forages adapted to the semiarid region on the forage cactus (Opuntia fícus‐indica (L.) Mill) silage quality. A completely randomized design, with five treatments was used: pure forage cactus and forage cactus associated with 30% hay from gliricidia (Gliricidia sepium), pornunça ...

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.Urochloa species are widely used in silvopastoral systems (SPS), but production losses highlight the need for more productive forages. This study evaluated agronomic, physiological, chemical composition, and in vitro digestibility responses of Urochloa brizantha cv. Piatã and Megathyrsus maximus cvs.
